http://www.atailoredsuit.com/match-tie-knot-shirt-collar-style.html Although this article may seem to contradict some of what I say, I think you need to focus on the point I make about how the necktie knot you select needs to take into consideration your natural proportions. The shirt collar style is only one factor - and can disquality some knots (simply because they won't fit) - but doesn't always mean one is better than another.

Let me know in the comments if I need to be more clear!

  • Hi Antonio, what kind of knot do you recommend for men with long face and long neck? I have heard that a wider spread collar will look well with men who have this face shape but wider spread requires big knots and it seems like a smaller knot would work better. What is your thought on this? please reply.

  • @americanlove10 A big knot should be okay on a long neck. Depending on how thick the tie is a half-Windsor will probably do just fine!

  • Antonio, I've noticed that when you do wear a tie in your videos, it is always flawlessly knotted - those dimples are the bomb! Could you perhaps do a video to demonstrate how you knot your ties so impeccably. Thanks!

  • @4lougehrig There's not much of a trick beside practicing! But I can do a step-by-step video -- I'll add it to our queue!

  • Bowties seem nearly impossible to tie, even with detailed video's as a guide. If you go to a blacktie event, be sure to practice long beforehand, or make sure you have a pre-tied one as backup.

    Regarding knots, I'm told the full windsor was a republican knot, while the democrats tend to wear half-windsors.

  • @SirBlade666 Well - I would say then that the four-in-hand is for moderates:)

  • I can't get a dimple like that!!

  • Hi Antonio, your videos are great! I always thought that the kerchief on the breast pocket should be the same material, or at least the same colour as the tie, but seeing you in this video with a green tie and a red(?) kerchief, and looking elegant, made me rethink my personal criteria. I think it is both daring and quite elegant! Congratulations and great work!

  • @macallan18year I look to address it sir!

  • @xa1200 You are correct sir!

  • @SirBlade666 Sir - great point - thank you!
